Luis was born November 4th, 1942, in Monte Escobedo, Zacatecas, Mexico to his loving parents Felix J. Nava and Maria Acosta.
Luis immigrated from Zacatecas to Phoenix in the late 1960’s with determination and big dreams of a better life. He was a hard worker and started his career with Coca Cola as a machine operator in 1970 and faithfully served the company without missing a day of work until his retirement in 2004.
Outside of work, he enjoyed traveling, visiting family, listening to music, and watching old películas. Luis had a great love for his family and had a firm belief that “las riquezas de un hombre es la familia;” the riches of a man is his family.
Luis will be missed tremendously, and his memories will remain in our hearts forever.
